# Overview


Exe.dev billing has two parts: a flat monthly subscription, plus extra charges if you go over bandwidth or disk usage. An active subscription is needed to create and manage VMs.

Each plan has different price points (known as tiers) that set one pool of vCPU and RAM shared by all of your VMs. It is not a per-VM size: one VM can use the whole pool, or many smaller VMs can split it. On a team, each user gets their own pool. We currently offer four tiers: small, medium, large and extra-large. As you scale your applications, you can upgrade or downgrade your tier based on your needs.

## What each size includes

| Size | Shared capacity (total; per user on Team) | Individual | Team, per user |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Small | 2 vCPU · 8 GB RAM | $20/mo | $25/mo |
| Medium | 4 vCPU · 16 GB RAM | $40/mo | $50/mo |
| Large | 8 vCPU · 32 GB RAM | $80/mo | $100/mo |
| XLarge | 16 vCPU · 64 GB RAM | $160/mo | $200/mo |

Every size above allows **up to 50 VMs**. That is a count limit inside the shared capacity, not 50 full-size VMs.

Every plan includes a **$20/month Shelley credit**. On team plans each user gets their own $20. The credit is the same on every size and refreshes at the start of each month (UTC).

All subscriptions are paid for in advance meaning you are paying for the month ahead. We bill for usage at the end of each cycle, charging you for what you actually used.

## FAQ

### Does "50 VMs" mean 50 full-size VMs?

No. 50 is the maximum number of VMs you can have. All of your VMs together share your plan's capacity. On extra-large that is 16 vCPU and 64 GB RAM in total: run one VM at the full 16 vCPU, or split the same capacity, for example 2×8 vCPU or 4×4 vCPU.

### Can one VM use the whole pool?

Yes. A single VM can be resized up to your plan's full capacity. Adding more VMs does not add capacity; they draw from the same pool.

### Does the Shelley credit grow with larger sizes?

No. The Shelley credit is $20/month on every size, for individual and team plans alike. On team plans it is per user. Buy more at [exe.dev/user/shelley](https://exe.dev/user/shelley).
